"Pittsburgh's Black and Gold" is the resurrection of a magazine that was first published in the late 70s, and ended after only a five year run. Today, nearly 30 years later and in a totally new medium, it is once again being published by Angelo Spagnolo, a lifelong Pittsburgher and avid sports fan of all teams "Black and Gold". This site is a tribute to Pittsburgh, where the home teams all wear the same uniform colors. "It's a hard-drinkin' town with an all Pittsburgh sports problem!!!"

A great fellow blogger, "D.J." from the Mon Valley, sent this "adaptation video" to me from the recent World War II movie, "Valkyrie". It was so hilarious that I just had to put it up. In it, Hitler's words are mistranslated into battle strategy regarding the Steelers-Jets game. Yes, this is the lunacy of playoff fever that we've become used to here in Pittsburgh just about every other year it seems. Lucky us!!! Thanks D.J.!!!

Another Pittsburgh Icon soon to be blown up. They should've made this into the "North Pole Casino". It would've been great!

Quite possibly the worst sports likeness ever foisted upon the figurine-bobblehead collecting public

"Count Dracula In Cleats". I wonder how he feels about Hines Ward getting fined for hitting people too hard?

Doesn't Look Like Him at all.

"The Mendoza Line"

Baseball's Equivalent of the Worst Avid Golfer. I'd like to meet him, but it could cause a crack in the "space-time continuum".

About Me

I'm well known for my golf exploits as "America's Worst Avid Golfer" (Golf Digest Magazine, 1985). I took 66 strokes on the island hole at the TPC in Florida (losing 27 balls in the process) thus the 66 on my profile.
